Don't compromise with Jamaat

Civil society urges AL on Jahanara Imam's birthday

STAFF CORRESPONDENT
Some civil society members yesterday urged the ruling Awami League not to compromise with Jamaat-Shibir and fundamentalist quarters.
Because of the activities and comments of some AL high-ups, it appears that they intend to compromise with Jamaat-e-Islami and Islami Chhatra Shibir, they said.
It is alarming for the nation and suicidal for AL which is deemed a pro-liberation political party, they told a discussion, "Movement of Jahanara Imam and Multidimensional Conspiracy of Jamaat" at the capital's Bangladesh Institute of Law and International Affairs (BILIA).
If a pro-liberation government receives financial assistance from Jamaat-backed institutions and ruling party leaders join hands with Jamaat men, it creates the scope for acceptance of Jarnaat-Shibir both inside and outside of the country, said Shahriar Kabir, acting president of Ekattorer Ghatak Dalal Nirmul Committee, which organised the programme.
So, the government must refrain from such activities, he said.
About the recent incidents of forced disappearance and killing, he alleged that Jarnaat-Shibir men were carrying those out by using AL men to destabilise the country.
The discussion marked the 85th birth anni-versary of Jahanara Imam, who initiated the nirmul commmittee movement against war criminals in 1992.
Bangladesh Mahila Parishad President Ayesha Khanam said an incumbent minister said in a recent a public meeting that the government was continuing negotiation with Hefajat-e-Islam. "If the situation comes to this stage during a pro-liberation govern- ment, where will we go?"
Former army chief KM Shafiullah said it was true that only the AL-led government would be able to try war criminals but the government must shake Jamaat-Shibir infiltrators off the party.
Sammilita Sangskritik Jote President Nasiruddin Yusuf Bachchu said all the proliberation forces would have to jointly resist the attempts of implementing the agenda of Jamaat-Shibir.
Nirrnul committee adviser Justice Syed Amirul Islam said the government had betrayed the people through the 15th amendment to the constitution by keeping Islam as state religion.
Liberation War Affairs Minister AKM Mozammel Huq said, "The pro-liberation politicians shou d criticise themselves first because we have created opportunity for the Jamaat-Shibir and fundamentalist groups to rise in the country."
